Senior Family Solicitor - Senior Associate/Partner Poole, Dorset Hybrid Working
Are you an experienced Family Solicitor looking for a senior role where you can take the lead and help shape the future of an established Family practice?
An excellent opportunity has arisen to join a highly regarded Legal 500 firm in Poole at Senior Associate or Partner level.
This is a genuine leadership and succession opportunity, following the planned retirement of a senior Partner. You'll have the chance to take on a key role within the department, build on its established reputation and client base, and influence its future direction while continuing to handle high-quality and complex privately funded work.
The Role
You will manage a varied private Family caseload, with a particular focus on:
- High-value financial remedy matters
- Complex matrimonial work
- Divorce and separation
- Private Family disputes
- Advocacy and court representation
Alongside your fee-earning work, you will supervise and mentor a small team of solicitors and support staff, helping to develop their skills and maintain the department's high standards of client service.
Business development will also be an important part of the role, with scope to strengthen existing relationships, build your own profile and generate new opportunities within the local market.
The position is based in modern offices in central Poole. Flexible hybrid working is available, although regular office attendance will be expected given the leadership and supervisory responsibilities. Occasional travel to other offices, court hearings, client meetings and networking events will also be required.
